A celestial globe is a hands-on model of the night sky, designed to show how stars appear from Earth. It consists of:
- An Earth sphere: A 4-inch globe representing our planet, marked with continents, that rotates to simulate Earth’s daily spin.
- A star sphere: A larger, 12.5-inch transparent sphere surrounding the Earth, displaying constellations and stars in their correct positions. The Milky Way is highlighted.
- A shared axle: This allows both spheres to rotate independently, mimicking the movements of Earth and the apparent sky.
- An angle scale: A measurement tool on the supporting frame, showing angular distances from the equator to help locate stars.
- A tilted frame: The frame holds the axle at a 23.5-degree angle, representing Earth’s tilt, which causes seasons.
This device lets users:
- Visually grasp the positions of constellations.
- See how Earth’s rotation changes the visible stars.
- Determine which stars are visible from different locations.
- Understand the reason for seasonal changes.
- Visually see the Milky Way galaxy.
Essentially, it’s a practical tool for learning about the relationships between Earth, stars, and our galaxy.
